Proposal Exhibit at Tippah Co Historical Museum

RIPLEY, Miss. (AP) — A northeast Mississippi man had to convince his girlfriend to get dressed up for a visit to the Tippah County Historical Museum. She didn’t understand why until they got to a display case holding an engagement ring and a card saying “History was made at the museum,” the date and their names.

Then Brian L. Jones of Chalybeate got down on his knees and proposed to Kayla Watson of Baldwyn

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/VDe5o5) reports that they’ve dated for several years, and had set Feb. 23 as their wedding date.

Watson says the proposal was a complete surprise.

Only the couple and museum personnel were there.

Watson says she immediately told her mother, posted a description on Facebook and began calling and texting friends to tell them.
